If you’ve ever attended a live Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) event, you’ll know the experience is hard to beat. Sure, for a small fortune you could stream it live at home, but if you’re a diehard UFC fan, watching it on the couch just won’t cut it. So, what’s the next best thing outside of the octagon? Watching UFC Perth live at your local Varsity sports bar of course!
Let’s get ready to rumble
Fighting through the COVID pandemic, the MMA world was thrown every curveball imaginable. Fight cards chopped and changed due to covid protocols and VISA issues amongst some fighters was the cherry on top of a confusing year.
However, this didn’t stop the entertainment. From Oliveira taking the title of UFC world champion after he defeated Chandler, to the legendary Volkanovski defending his belt for the 20th consecutive time… Looking back over the last year, what a thrilling 12 months it was for UFC. In fact, 2021 saw the UFC company generate the most money in history, selling the most pay-per-views it ever has.
It’s fair to say, the amount of UFC fans has definitely grown and with Varsity being the home of UFC, we couldn’t be more stoked about the growing hype over the sport!

Although 2021 packed a punch with some truly outstanding fights, we can’t wait to see what this year holds for UFC. Check out the fight schedule below!
2022 has only just begun and there are already some stand out fighters you’ll want to remember the names of. There’s Perth’s homegrown hero Jack Della Maddalena who had his debut on the 22nd January 2022, defeating opponent Rodriguez with excellent counters and smooth attacks. In addition, there are several female fighters that are etching their name into the history books, there’s Zhang Weili who continues to deliver a stellar performance as well as Amanda Nunes who’s been dubbed one of the greatest female MMA fighters of all time. For more information on upcoming fights make sure to check out the schedule and save the date of your most anticipated battles. You won’t want to miss out on what this year has in store for you.
Once a month on a Sunday morning, we open our doors early (usually around 9am) so you can watch the UFC main event live and uninterrupted. And you won’t find too many sports bars around Perth that do! With 6 convenient venues at Nedlands, Northbridge, Waterford, Morley, Joondalup and Freo – there’s a local Varsity not far from you.
So, you might not be able to snag a seat in the flesh, but when you get a room full of UFC Perth fans together to watch the bouts, you’re not far off from a similar experience. UFC literally takes over at our venues, so if you’re coming along just because, you
may find yourself leaving as a converted UFC Perth fan.
You have a few options when it comes to watching UFC at home in Perth. You can stream it live on pay-per-view broadcasts via Kayo, Foxtel, Fetch TV, UFC Fight Pass and even through PlayStation 4, but they all come at a subscription cost, and not all streaming services broadcast every event. Annoying huh?
